Here is the original article. I don't speak Swedish so, I don't understand the nuances of this paragraph
Kan man inte vara både jude och svensk, samtidigt?

– Jag tror att de flesta med judiskt ursprung som blivit svenskar lämnar sin judiska identitet. Men gör de inte det behöver inte det vara ett problem. Man måste skilja på medborgarskap och nationstillhörighet. De kan fortfarande vara svenska medborgare och leva i Sverige. Samer och judar har levt i Sverige under lång tid.
Running this through Google translate, and fixing obvious errors, I get
"Can one be both a Jew and Swedish, at the same time?
- I think most of Jewish origin that have become Swedes leave their Jewish identity. But those that do not do it need are not a problem. One must distinguish between citizenship and nationhood. They can still be Swedish citizens and live in Sweden. Sami {Lapps} and Jews have lived in Sweden for a long time. "

If I understand this, he is demanding that Jews need to be Swedes who practice Judaism, if they want to be truly Swedish. This is quite different than what is being purposely misreported. That said, the Ekeroth brothers, who are two Jewish and Zionist leading members of Sweden Democrats would disagree.
On the other hand, Soder is no friend of Judaism, being the one of introduced the ban on circumcising minors for non-medical reasons.

Any anti-circumcision types are antisemites; any claim by them that they are targeting Muslims is specious.
